Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 400

As the three killers slowly approached them, Shawn suddenly turned his head to look at Sharon and asked, "Sharon, do you believe me?"

Confused, Sharon looked at him and wondered what did he mean.

Then, Shawn smiled at her and reassured her, "Don't worry. I won't let you die."

While the killers were getting closer, Sharon's heart was pounding. Even she herself did not notice that her voice was trembling when she asked, "You... what are you trying to do?" "Jump down!"

"Wait... what?"

Suddenly, Sharon felt her waist tightened as Shawn wrapped his arms around her body and jumped down the cliff without hesitation.

At that instant, Sharon was so terrified that her scream burst out, "Ah..."

When the killers realized what happened, their expressions changed, and they immediately took a few big strides forward and fired at the bottom of the cliff where they could not see clearly. In that silent night, Sharon's scream and the sound of the gunfires pierced through the clouds and directly entered the ears of Stanley.

It made Stanley's heart skipped a beat, and he stood where he was as he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Even Anthony, who followed behind him, didn't even dare to breathe heavily. The moment Stanley made a judgment from which direction the subtle sound came from, he immediately ran toward it.

Closely, Anthony followed him as he was also nervous and anxious. The voice they heard just now was obviously Sharon's scream, and he did not dare not to guess what Sharon had encountered. Not to mention how terrible Stanley's expression was.

Half an hour later, Anthony and the others found a cliff where footprints and bullets were left behind. Everything proved Sharon was definitely here...

But where are they?

No one was there.

There was a cliff behind them, and if she appeared here, there would be no way for her to go, so she either would've been taken away by someone else, or she jumped off this cliff.

No matter who it was, it would be detrimental to her.

Meanwhile, Anthony stood rooted to the ground, unable to utter a single word. His hands were trembling uncontrollably, and his back was even covered with cold sweat.

When Anthony looked at Stanley, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, he saw that Stanley was standing there quietly, without saying a word. On his face... was an unspeakable expression, and he was so silent as if time had stopped.

The wind was so strong that it made his clothes bulged as if he could be gone with the wind in the next second.

Suddenly, Stanley, who had been standing still, reacted and went straight to the cliff. Meanwhile, Anthony's eyes were fixated on him, and he didn't even dare to look away because he was afraid that Stanley would do something horrible in the blink of an eye.

Gradually, the expression on Anthony's face could no longer remain as calm as before when he noticed that Stanley kept walking, and he did not seem to have any intention of stopping.

"Boss!"

In shock, Anthony cried out while he threw himself at Stanley and held him tightly in his arms. "Boss, what are you doing?"

"Let me go!"

The sound of Stanley's voice was so hoarse that it was painful to hear, and Anthony could even feel the faint trembling of his muscles.

How could Anthony dare to let go of him? In fact, he was afraid that if he let go, Stanley would do something unexpected, so there was no way he would let go. "Boss, Madam won't fall down this cliff. Don't do that. We will look for her. Maybe we will find her somewhere else. Boss, don't do anything stupid!"

However, Stanley flung Anthony's arms off and knocked him away. Then, Anthony fell to the ground and widened his eyes as he watched Stanley lowered his body, squatted down on the ground, and picked up something.

He didn't jump!

Anthony heaved a sigh of relief.

It's good that he didn't jump.

A minute ago, he was really afraid that Stanley would be unable to take it and jumped off the cliff as well.

As Anthony looked in the direction of the item that Stanley was holding, his eyes suddenly widened. Wasn't that... Sharon's shoes?

It was not a good sign for it to appear on the edge of the cliff...

From this, it was also possible to conclude that Sharon had indeed been here before, and she had even gone missing here.

However, Anthony didn't even dare to think about what would happen next...

After he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he hurriedly got up from the ground. Just as he walked over, Stanley's fierce and hoarse voice rang out, "You must find her no matter what!" "Yes, sir!"

Hurriedly, Anthony responded.

In the next three days, Stanley had searched through almost the whole of Beachmarsh City inch- by- inch. After he searched through almost all the places he could, there was still no trace of Sharon. Besides, he even used all the rights and power in his hands to find places such as hotels, motels, private houses, and even under the bridge.

But where did Sharon go?

It has been three days since Stanley last slept because he knew that if he couldn't find Sharon in these three days, he would've lost the best timing to find her, and it would be very difficult to find her again. The last phone call Sharon had was with Shawn. From this, he could tell that the last person she saw was Shawn.

However, Stanley did not blame anyone. In fact, he only hated himself that he did not look after Sharon closely.

Clearly, he knew she couldn't let it go when she knew that her father was murdered by Shawn, and she would definitely go and ask him about it. How could he be so silly to leave her alone at home?

It was true that Ryan had decent skills, and he was a very reliable person as well. However, he was also human, and he needed to eat and rest. There was no way he could look after Sharon all the time. Why didn't he even thought about it at the time? Why did he let her be alone at home?

For the past three days, Stanley had lived in regret and self-blame every day. Other than that, he even began to hate himself for not taking Sharon seriously.

It was no one else's fault because it was his fault!

In the past three days, Anthony watched as his boss lost so much weight in the blink of an eye. At that moment, Stanley's eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy, and he even had stubbles on his chin. In fact, he was so untidy that he looked totally different from the handsome man he used to be.

For three days, he hadn't eaten anything, and it was only because Jimmy forced him to drink half a bottle of water that he was able to stay alive.

However, how could a person not eat or drink for three days? No matter how strong his body was, there was no way a body couldn't take it. Finally, four days later, Stanley fainted during breakfast and was sent to the hospital.

When Stanley fainted, Anthony was so shocked that he almost had a heart attack.

After he sent him to the hospital, the doctor gave him a nutrient-filled injection. Eight hours later, Stanley opened his eyes and said to Anthony, "Go prepare some digestive food. I want to eat."

At that moment, Stanley knew he had already made one mistake, and he could no longer make another mistake.

If he collapsed because he wasn't eating anything, he would end up delaying the search for Sharon's whereabouts, and it was just detrimental to him.

It seemed that whenever he encountered something related to Sharon, his mind and mental would be in a mess. Besides, he would become stupid, and he would not be able to deal with the simplest things. Even he would despise himself.

Meanwhile, Jimmy rushed to the hospital right after he received the latest news. When he saw Stanley sitting on the bed while eating porridge, he was relieved.

When Stanley saw him come in, he glanced at what Jimmy was holding. Then, he put down the bowl in his hand and asked calmly, "Did you manage to find anything?"

"How do you know?" As Jimmy closed the door, he walked over and handed him a photo. "This is a photo taken at the station. Take a look."
